Never do Craigslist unless you are armed and have overwatch.
And in a very public place.
Exactly. I don’t know why people have anything to do with Craigslist. It’s virtually all fraudsters or worse trolling for victims.
I actually know a woman, who I thought would be smarter than that, who met and dated a man who came to look at an apartment she was advertising on Craigslist. He completely bamboozled her, got lots of money from her, and took her on a “weekend date” to a closed house in a resort town and said he had lost his keys (he had no connection with the house, except that he obviously knew it was going to be empty that weekend). This was after his “private jet” had not managed to make it to the airport, so they had to drive.
Somebody in the family hired a private detective and it turned out that he was an unemployed loser living with his wife and children in a dismal part of town and making money off of well-heeled lonely women. Well, at least he didn’t kill her.
Or tired of living.
